Rymanrph, have you ever had a screaming 2 year old on a 300+ mile trip? Turn on, insert DVD & they shut right up= peaceful driving.
Also, these days people spend more & more time in their vehicles
(especially when we were in Japan. The USA has nothing compared to them). So make it feel like home. I'm not talking take off your shoes & recline your seat. But if you are stuck in a traffic jam for some which may be hours. Watching the Today Show, or a good comedy could make it go by that much quicker, not to mention, your more relaxed, less rage, ect..
Then you can have GPS, video games..you name it. I can really see the benefits if one has a family. But if you do it just for the "cool" factor, then yes, they are pretty much worthless.
